Solia Tourmaline Ceramice Ion Flat Iron

i'm very much leaning towards a Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (1-1/4") plus free heat proof pouch
its 79.99 and had very good reviews. its 1 1/4 inch. my last flat iron was 1 inch and it straighten and curled wonderfully. does you think a slightly bigger plate size would effect it's curling abilities? i really love the way my hair looks when i curl it with a flat iron, so a flat iron that can curl is a MUST.
let me know what you guys think, and if you own this flat iron PLEASE let me know what you think about it! i want to hear your opinions!
picking the best flat iron is important to me because i have very curly hair, and a lot of it. [as you have seen in my videos lol]
uhmmmmm yeah, so let me know what you guys think, and please feel free to recommend any other brands.
thanks guys

love ya <3

Fashion: Eyelet Mesh Trim Dress

saw this dress on the forever21 website and fell in love! it's so cute! i love clothes that have a unique look to them. i love the simplicity of this dress and how you can dress it up or dress it down.
for example, if you wanted to dress it up, you can wear solid sheer or opaque tights. OR lace tights (which i love and own). with some heels. i would go with an ankle bootie heel. and if its cold out, a leather jacket on top.

haha i'm getting excited. hope you guys enjoyed my little rant about my love for this dress :D

haha short and sweet <3

my flat iron broke :[

so last night after i got home from the movie theater (watched She's Out Of My League), my boyfriend and little brother both got REALLY sick. So as i was taking care of my little brother, i heard a loud crash or something. when i finally get my brother to bed, i go to my room and see that it was my flat iron that fell and crashed into the metal rail of my bed. My boyfriend's dog and tripped over the wire.
i was so sad! i loved that flat iron! it was a pink ISO turbo, i got it at the mall when i was 17 for 100$. The lady told me it had a lifetime warranty, buuuuuuuut she lied because the papers inside said it was only 1 year warranty. so basically i'm flat iron-less. and i have REALLY long, curly hair. and i have A LOT of hair.
so now i'm deciding what flat iron i should buy on Folica.com. i was thinking about getting a CHI because everyone seems to love it and it's only $69.95 on the website. What do you guys suggest?
do you think the CHI is good? or the Solia? i'm torn. i've heard so many things about the CHI, and $69 seems like a great price for a flat iron with such a GREAT reputation.
oh and i want something that will curl my hair too. i loved curling, and waving my hair with my ISO. Let me know what you guys think!
thanks! :D
